After completing a one-year program in Singapore, will I be allowed to work there? How long will the visa allow me to stay for work for a Master's/Diploma?

Yes, after a one-year master's program in Singapore, you can stay to seek work by applying for a Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP), which is typically valid for up to one year. You must apply before your Student's Pass expires.

Once you secure a job, your employer can apply for a work pass such as:

- Employment Pass (EP): For professionals with a recognized degree and a minimum salary of SGD 5,000/month.
- S Pass: For mid-level skilled staff with a diploma or degree and a minimum salary of SGD 3,150/month.

These work passes are usually valid for 1 - 2 years and are renewable. Singapore does not offer a dedicated post-study work visa; securing a job and work pass is essential for staying longer. Visa rules are subject to change.
